Tamara is amazing and so kind. She saved my dress after a bad experience with another tailor. She really makes you feel comfortable and works with your vision for the dress.

Tamara altered a bridesmaid dress for me and a dress for the same wedding's traditional Nigerian ceremony. Both dresses were super comfortable after she was done altering them - and without my asking she added a bustle to one so I wouldn't trip over myself. She was really considerate and patient with me. Thank you!!
